In the history of Manchester, and indeed of South Lancashire as a whole, no other event or enterprise can compare with it in its far-reaching effects. The story, too, in many respects contains all the elements of a romance. It is the relation of a desperate and almost hopeless fight against opposi- tion of the most powerful and uncompromising character, and it is meet that the names and qualities of the men engaged in the strife, and the nature of the difficulties which they encountered and overcame, should find a permanent record. To rescue both individuals and incidents from oblivion, and to give a connected narrative of the course of events from the conception to the completion of the canal, is the object of the present work.

  • "Long Since, When All the Docks Were Filled with That Sea Beauty Man Has Ceased to Build" J.Masefield
    LIVERPOOL N A U T I C A L RESEARCH SOCIETY "Long since, when all the docks were filled with that sea beauty man has ceased to build" J.Masefield ~IS, NOTES AND QUERIES Vol.XIII (New Series) No.1 January-March 1969 THE WRECK OF THE MISSOURI On the 17th February 1886, the screw steamer MISSOURI owned by the Warren Line cleared from Boston for Liverpool. She had been on this run for five years carrying cattle and general cargo to Liverpool, a trip which took about twelve days on average. A handsome iron built screw steamer, MISSOURI had come from the yard of James Connell on the Clyde in 1881. She had a length of 425ft., a gross tonnage of 3,332 and in addition to her engines she had a four masted barque rig. On this particular voyage she carried 395 head of cattle and 4,000 tons of general cargo, comprising bales of cotton, sacked flour, palm oil tallow, and a large quantity of provisions. In addition to the crew of 64, there were 18 cattlemen to look after the beasts. At a later date it transpired that there were also three stowaways aboard. The Master of the MISSOURI, Captain Poland had commanded the vessel since she came into service. Before that he had spent six years in command of sailing vessels in the Indian. Ocean. The Company had a very high regard of his capabilities. - 1 - By the 28th February MISSOURI had reached the Irish Sea, and at 8 p.m. was ~ miles from the 'fuskar Rock with a gale blowing.

  • Liverpool, Manchester and Market Power: the Ship Canal and the North West Business Landscape in the Late Nineteenth Century
    Liverpool, Manchester and market power: The Ship Canal and the North West business landscape in the late nineteenth century Graeme J. Milne The grooves in which trade runs are exceeding deep, and it needs an infinite amount of trouble to make it face the jolt and effort of the change even when the new groove is demonstrably far better than the old. The opening of the Manchester Ship Canal in 1894 was an important event in the history of late Victorian engineering, trade and transport, and its construction and early operations have spawned a considerable body of literature.2 Some of the canal’s wider and longer-term implications are less well known, however. The Ship Canal raised major questions of civic pride and identity, becoming a shibboleth for ‘patriotic’ Liverpudlians and Mancunians, and challenged assumptions about the relative power and influence of seaports and inland, manufacturing cities. This article focuses on Manchester’s attempts to expand its trade after the opening of the canal, and the extent to which it was thwarted by obstruction from Liverpool and by the inertia of established trading systems. As such, it explores economic and business aspects of a broader regional controversy that have perhaps been studied less fully than earlier disputes about the actual building of the canal.J 1 Manchester Guardian, 29 August 1894. 2 For example, Bosdin Leech, History o f the Manchester Ship Canal from its inception to its completion (Manchester, 1907); David Owen, The Manchester Ship Canal (Manchester, 1983). 3 Important exceptions are D.A.

  • Should We Move Public Sector Jobs out of London? August 2017
    Should we move public sector jobs out of London? August 2017 The relocation of public sector jobs is one of the most direct tools that policy makers can use to move jobs around the country. There is precedent for doing this already in the UK – for example through the opening of HM Revenue and Customs offices in Liverpool, Department for Work and Pensions in Newcastle and the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency in Swansea. And political interest continues on this front. As part of its industrial strategy and rebalancing agenda, the 2017 Conservative Party manifesto pledged to move significant numbers of civil servants out of London and the South East to other cities in the UK. Governments often use relocation of public sector workers to try and stimulate economic growth in different parts of the country. Public sector relocation can stimulate the local economy in two main ways. The first, direct impact is the move of the jobs themselves and the wages they pay. The second is the ‘multiplier effect’ that these jobs can have, boosting demand for local goods and services and attracting jobs in related industries by improving the attractiveness of the area to businesses. The size of the multiplier effect on the local area is affected by the skills levels and nature of the jobs as well as the number. For example, the movement of low-skilled jobs has a clear direct impact in that it creates employment. But its wider impact is likely to be limited, in that the wages they pay will be lower, the career progression they offer is likely to be limited and their interaction with other bodies, be they public or private (e.g.
